The Jala river runs through the centre of Tuzla, its banks and bridges part of the fabric of the city alongside the main squares, pedestrian streets and the mix of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and modern architecture. Strolling through the centre, from the river to the squares and the old town, offers a sense of the everyday life and history of the largest city in north-eastern Bosnia. The compact, walkable centre is easy and pleasant to explore on foot.
